hi

that is a id tag for luftwaffe worker who works with tools or similiar items that belongs to the comapny he is working for. these types of id tags are in use in avation even today. when a worker ( f.ex a junkers worker working on a Ju 88 need a special tool he goes to the toolboot and pick up the tool he need and put his id tag in the place the tool was hanging ) so then the tool can be easily traced to the person using it.

very nice item indeed

looks like my answer dident show up.. but again..thsi si a luftwaffe id tag for a luftwaffe worker who works in a factory and this is his id tag and employee number. these dags are in use in avaiation even today. if a worker need a special tool ( that belongs to the company ) he walks over to the toolboot and pick up the tool and leave behind this tag so the tool is tracable to the person using it

That's interesting, thank you again very much for your help!

Do you think the chain belongs there, is there any evidence of a chain on the one you have?

That's also interesting, i live 20 minutes away from Gardermoen

[junkers88a1]

it should have a chain..but yours does not look original..to new.. but it should be a similar chain on it ( older style )
have you visited the museum at gardermoen and seen the Ju 88 ?
your name sounds familiar

[junkers88a1]

by the way..the one we found had just a small steelring on it ( like a keyring ) and those in use today also have small rings on them as each worker has about ten each..and he put them where he pick up tools and other items needed to work on aircrafts.. but i have seen that some has longer chains..i guess that is induvidial for each worker when he recives his idtags and what he likes to do

I'm guessing mine is new to, looks like those i get my keys on so i doubt it's a war time piece.

Nope, never. Didn't even know there was a museum located there, even though i was there today.........

Perhaps we've already met?

[junkers88a1]

your kidding me right ? you dont know about the museum at gardermoen..it has 36 aircrafts on display including a germanbuild He 111 P2 and german build Ju 52 ( both from 1940 ) and the Ju 88 under restoration..
got to drop by there one day soon..hehe
